Your mum sent us (my mum and I) a copy of your book. Initially, while reading the dream scene at the beginning of the book, I thought, "really, Obama and Michelle" this is going to be corny, but then I got into it and could not put the book down. I can't wait for part 2! You've been blessed with a wonderful gift, and I wish you the very best in all your endeavors.

Dear Vigil

I can’t wait to read your book …. And love the video … very nice touch… connecting us with you

One comment though…. I appreciate the thought behind exploring and expressing the immigrants experience. I however must mention that you as a Nigerian first and foremost represent the Nigerian immigrant experience and not the African immigrant experience. I hate it when European use the word Africa as a blanket statement and I hate it even more when we as Africans, lump each and every country within the continent as one. I strongly believe that we have so much more than just one voice. Don’t get me wrong I love and adore my Africaness but as an Ethiopian there is an additional facet of me, an additional experience, worldview etc… But I can never claim that my experience as an Ethiopian immigrant in London can fully represent all “African immigrants’ experiences” in the UK . Similarly I cannot profess to represent all African immigrants outside of their continent…. As what you have experienced in the US is certainly not exactly the same as what I experienced here in the UK

Hope you understand the above

i wasnt supposed to read the whole book lol but i just couldnt stop reading it i cant wait for the second book vigil u rock

I loved Vigil's book. Her writing style is superb. I find the book extremely professional, compared to others I have read like hers. It has a good story, (one I can relate to, in fact) and it's fast reading. I think next she should broaden her horizon and start writing a blockbuster that will sell mainstream and possibly become a movie, she definitely has the talent. In fact "My Songbird Can Dance" could be a major motion picture, rivalling such movies as "Precious" and Beyonce's "Obsessed" it is just that good. I could see Beyonce playing the part of Eefee, this is a vehicle that could earn her an Oscar. I highly reccomend this book and can't wait to read more of Vigils works and see more of her movies.

Hello Vigil,
Your presentation at the
book signing event was
very very good!You can tell

Have a nice day!

Hello Vigil,
you did an *** job!
i got the book with Henri
and read it in 2 days.i can't wait for no. 2.

Rachel is someone I loved to hate to love! There were moments as I was reading where I was like, "No she didn't." Then other times I was like, "No he didn't." Very well written Vigil. I look forward to the next book (the conclusion). What will Rachel do? I can't wait.

vigil, incredible book! All I could do is cry, then I smiled, then I was angry, then I cried again. I have to read it one more time!

all I can say is WOW! Song bird is awesome. I thought it would be like all other novels, instead, it captured my attention, I couldn't put it down! I have to recommend it to all my friends...WOW! I LOVE IT!

Great Film Vigil!
